to the jury judge landis said regarding his information various reports of alleged circumstance in connection with the fresh-meat industry have come to me while the representa tions set forth in these complaints even if true do not necessarily imply violation of the federal law they are of such character as to clearly impose upon the court the duty of directing your attention to the matter to the end that the subject may have at your hands the investigation and consideration which its importance re quires the statute declares every contract combination in the form of trust or other wise or conspiracy in restraint of trade among the several states or with foreign nations to be illegal apparently comes from inside as a jurist who is accustomed to weigh evidence judge landis has expressed a high estimation of the importance of the information submitted as a result the big mystery at the fed eral building is who wrote the letter to 1 a mils kvldently it was a person wt\o professed to be
